Photon Socket Server is a middleware provider which is using C++ as the underlying framework but the bulk of the logic (i.e. what you have access to) is using .NET.

Sorry, those are Russian games, but I assure you they're very real MMOs and have servers made with .NET. I worked on these servers myself, in fact (-8

I only worried that you might not understand the language on these sites. Of course, being a Russian game developer myself, I know of King's Bounty and lots of other great Russian games. Lots of bad ones too (-8 – Nevermind Apr 01 '11 at 06:51

I don't know of any commercial MMOs off the top of my head, but the NetGore Engine, the successor to the powerful vbGore Engine, is looking pretty good. NetGore is currently in very active development with a growing community.

Second Life runs (at least partially) using managed code. They run on MONO, which is a Linux port of .NET. It's possible they're just hosting .NET within C++ for the scripts, but they are running it at least partially.

Lord of the Rings Online's client uses .NET 1.1. Not sure about the server. I think Turbine's games (LotRO, DDO, Asheron's Call) use .NET.

I have no idea of the server side but the DDO client throws exceptions that look like .net when it crashes.

I'm pretty sure that CCP Games uses some .NET components on their servers.
